What is the defination of “Isotonic point”?
Isotonic literally translates to equal solution. The term is used in several domains. Cell biology: An isotonic cellular environment occurs when an equal solute concentration exists inside and outside the cell. Water molecules flow in and out at an equal rate by osmosis, causing the cell size to stay the same. It will not lose or gain any solutes. Plant cells in an isotonic environment are flaccid, and they will wither. The equilibrium of water movement is unable to provide plant cells with internal pressure for structural support, and therefore plants prefer to live in a hypotonic environment. In this situation, the concentration of solutes inside plant cells is higher than outside, and the plants use active transport to transport solutes in. This also ensures the concentration of water will be higher outside plant cells than inside. Osmosis in Plants: Plants depend on osmosis to move water from their roots to their leaves. The further toward the edge or the top of the plant, the grea
